Looking for some insight on a Marine Air Contract through OCS. I contacted a Marine recruiter months ago and learned that the Marines weight PRT pretty heavily. I'm applying for Navy slots for the upcoming August board, but am starting to look at other options in case I'm not selected and the boards shut off again for a while like everyone on this site is saying they probably will.
With a minimal PRT, 225-230, but a 3.5 GPA and 9/9/9 ASTB, but only 11 flight hours, what would my chances be at snagging a spot in the Marines? Any guesses? I can't run a sub 20 minute 3 mile, but I'm trying to improve everything (run, pull ups, curls) as quickly as I can. Does anyone know if the Marines ever look past low PRT scores because of high ASTB scores?
Insight would be appreciated. Hopefully I'm just worrying too much and I get a Navy spot in the upcoming board. But there will be a lot of qualified applicants in this board and even a technicality could keep me out. Thoughts?
